If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Don't forget that even after approval, you need to keep certifying your eligibility every week. Miss too many weekly claims and they might close your claim entirely.
I think it's 4 consecutive weeks but don't quote me on that. Better to just file every week on time.
It's actually 3 consecutive weeks in Washington. After that you have to reopen your claim which can cause delays.

For future reference, if you ever have issues reaching Washington ESD again, I had success with Claimyr. It's a service that helps you get through to an actual person instead of sitting on hold forever. Really saved me when I had a payment issue.
How much does something like that cost? Seems like it might be worth it if it actually works.
The value is definitely worth it when you're stuck in a situation where you can't get through. Check out their website at claimyr.com for more details.

Don't overthink it too much. I was terminated for 'poor fit' with the team and got approved for benefits no problem. Washington ESD sees these cases all the time and they know the difference between actual misconduct and just not working out at a job.
Thanks, I needed to hear that. I've been spiraling thinking about worst case scenarios.
Totally understand that anxiety. Focus on filing your claim and looking for new work. You'll probably be approved and can move forward.
Update us on how it goes! I'm always curious to hear how these situations turn out. Hoping Washington ESD approves your claim quickly so you can focus on finding something better.
Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. Feeling much more confident about applying now.
Good luck! You've got this. The worst part is usually the uncertainty, but it sounds like you have a solid case.

Another vote for Claimyr if you run into issues. I was skeptical at first but it really saved me time and stress when I had questions about my weekly claim filing.

•Good to know it works for ongoing issues too, not just initial filing problems.

Final thought - don't let perfect be the enemy of good. File as soon as you can with the information you have. You can always provide additional documentation later if Washington ESD needs it.
